2. ... and, that one issue of Ms. Marvel, where Simon and Carol slept together at the end of the story, was solicited as something that would forever change the relationship between the characters...

3. ... = Wonder Baby???

I known it's a crazy idea, and I don't like it at all, but could it be? Most of us thought the solicit was extremely exaggerated, because how could one night like that make that big a difference between the two characters? Maybe this was what was meant. I know there is the problem of Simon believing that he's infertal, but as far as I know this assertion has never been backed up with anything scientific.

I hate the idea of a Wonder Baby, but if you take "one night sleeping together" as really significant, and then you talk about a characters legacy (and most legacies are things that follow after the character...)
